Uh, yesterday on my AIM some random person said they were going to come to my house and rape me and other nasty stuff. I didn't log the chat because they messaged me randomly and I don't save chat history usually.
They weren't on my list, and they said that (someone I know in real life AND their last name which isn't common) told them my screenname and address.
Except I didn't even talk to that person that much. And I never talked about that person online, either. I never told him where I lived or my aim screenname. The only people who know it are my girl best friend and guy best friend and people on the internet that don't know anything about me in real life (I tell them I live somewhere else and a different name and age so stuff like this doesn't happen). The people in real life that know me I have only texted their phone from my aim screenname. I haven't texted either of them for months. My older sister's boyfriend knows my aim screenname, too. But the person who messaged me's name was different.
Well.. I thought it might be my two friends pranking me because they were having a sleepover and I didn't go. I haven't asked them.. but I don't think it's them. They would have said something. & the same person talked to me today.
I don't want to ignore/remove/block the person, because they know where I live and have threatened me.
I don't want to tell my parents, because then they won't want me on the computer because they think it's unsafe for me and they will just yell at me.
I can't get involved with police, because all I know is their AIM screenname and a name they gave me but idk anyone with that name. Also, if it's one of my friends pranking me, they could get in serious trouble if they were just joking.
I'm really scared and need advice.
Help?
